Little Chompers

I took Kate to the dentist 6 months ago.  And she sat and screamed the entire time.  Seriously.  The entire time.  The dentist took it in stride and took the opportunity to look in her mouth as she was taking a breath.  He said it didn't look like anything was wrong... but maybe we try again when she was older.

I tried again this week... And again- I just have to shake my head.  I was kind of hoping for a flip out- it would mean that my baby was still a baby.  But there were no flip outs.  Not even a smidgen of a  flip out.  She marched in to the office like she owned it.  It helped that the hygienist was there to meet her with a brand new super hero cape... but still... I was expecting a little flack.



But she did fine.  Even for XRays.

She flew through the appointment!  No cavities and no tears.  I had allotted more time for her appointment than was necessary because of how good she was- so we hit Costco on our way home.  She refused to take the cape off.  I giggled as we walked the aisles... and so did most of the people that passed us.  I really laughed when we passed another mom- her kid had a lightsaber in his belt buckle.

Kids are awesome.
